Discussions: Books & More

Discussion Groups

The Brookfield Public Library currently offers seven book clubs. The Library arranges for meeting space, sets the dates of the meetings, provides copies of the books and films and, with the exception of one club, has a staff member on hand to lead the discussion or help with the meeting. New members are welcome at any time to any of the groups. Lists of current and upcoming titles for all the groups are available at the Adult Reference Desk or online. Copies of the current titles being discussed by the groups will be available for checkout about one month before each meeting.

The Library sponsors the following:

The Armchair Travel Book Club

Read It and Eat

Read It and Eatcombines two of our favorite pastimes--reading and eating! In addition to a thought provoking and entertaining book discussion, we will enjoy dinner from a great local eatery. Each menu will be selected to tie in with the book being discussed.

Meets the first Friday of every month at 2:00 pm (April - November).

In this monthly series, participants discuss classic and contemporary science-fiction, fantasy, and horror authors; the narrative worlds they create; and some of the philosophical themes dealt with in their works.
